February 12, 2021 S3 Ep19.5: How NOT to be a bug bounty hunter
In this special mini-episode, Paul Ducklin talks to Sophos cybersecurity expert Chester Wisniewski about bug bounty hunting.

How does bug bounty hunting work? What should you do if you get a bug report that doesn't follow established protocol?
